This is an extended Labor Day Weekend edition of Vegas News. Getting ready for lots of info from the past couple of weeks. It’s a good thing many of you have a long weekend.
I like to change the format of Vegas News every now and again. This week will be all Quick Hits-style with a bunch of embedded tweets with pictures for visual interest. Also, pay close attention to the Fontainebleau Room Preview, which is making this new casino resort seem “more real.”
The biggest news in Las Vegas surrounds The Mirage/Hard Rock. Clark County approved Hard Rock’s (Hard Rock Las Vegas) plans to build a guitar-shaped hotel tower in front of the existing property.
Let’s kick off this week’s edition of Vegas News with some information about the average visitor to Las Vegas in 2022 (Vegas Visitor Data). The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s (LVCVA) annual Visitor Profile is a small sample snapshot of visitors to Las Vegas.Â
Yep, another Las Vegas Grand Prix Update. There’s a large international following for F1, and the sport fascinates me. The intrigue is as much off the track as it is race related. The business angle is particularly interesting – especially as it relates to Las Vegas.
MGM was in the news for a few reasons last week. You already know about the MGM Rewards tier accelerator we slid into Vegas News before posting last week. This week? MGM New F1 Package.
The casino biz was abuzz with casino earnings last week, with MGM Resorts, Red Rock, and Wynn reporting. As expected, all had very good financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year in 2022.
I enjoyed a couple of comp nights at the Cosmopolitan. This is my monthly work/play casino trip and my first for 2023. New Comp Drink Policy At Cosmo…
The initial excitement for the launch of the Las Vegas Grand Prix (LVGP) next year is coming to an end. The first batches of tickets for the event are sold out but some more will be released early next year.Â
The autumn display at the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is up. While beautiful, this is probably my least favorite every year. Tropicana has a new rewards program. This is not currently connected with Bally’s casinos around the country.
